Borrisokane Sunflower Festival

24/10/2025

Thanks to everyone who visited the Sunflower field and donated so generously 🌻❤️

The Borrisokane Sunflower Festival Committee recently presented a cheque for €3,000 to North Tipperary Hospice/Suaimhneas following their very successful fundraiser. We congratulate and thank the organisers for their ingenuity in coming up with such a novel and popular event and for their generous donation to our funds. The large display of sunflowers on lands at the rear of their hall was a sight to behold and attracted a great number of visitors on each of the festival days. Well done to all involved and to all who visited and donated so generously.
Pictured by Bridget Delaney at the presentation were (L to R) Joannes Berkery, Seamus Costello, Paddy Heffernan (all hospice) Joe Austin, Laurna Mooney, Lilian Austin, Angel Donovan, Nigel Foxton, Diana Austin and Mary Foxton.
